Welcome Week
August 21-31, 2025
Welcome Week
Join us for an activity-filled week as we gather in Athens! As you begin your journey as a Bobcat, you'll be welcomed with events that will help you get connected, feel supported, and prepare you for a successful start at OHIO! This slate of events will introduce you to faculty, staff, and many of the resources available within the Ohio University and Athens communities. Whether you are joining us on campus for your first year, or returning to OHIO, we want you to feel welcome and ready for the year to come.
